I've sold shares. I don't trade shares though because I know at any moment there could be a PR and the stock price goes parabolic. I'm willing to accept the alternative and I lose everything instantly. I've never been very good at musical chairs and I don't want to be caught on the outside looking in. That to me is just as big of a gamble as holding everything from 2018 to now.

Depending on the size of a person's holdings, the short-term capital gains can pose a real threat. I don't like paying 20% but it sure beats the alternative, year after year.
